Homeschooling Home Economics

As I have mentioned before, this year I am teaching my two oldest girls a fairly comprehensive Home Economics course, that I created specifically for them. I have been pleased with how it has gone. I still need to take pictures of the long tiered skirts they finished back in January.

Today, I have a post at The Homeschool Classroom that describes how I taught budgeting money to my girls. I plan to write a series of posts for The Homeschool Classroom that will describe other aspects of our Home Ec course this year.

We had a congregational singing at our church service last night, and I was reminded of God's promises to love and take care of us through all situations as I really listened to the words of the songs. One song we sang is called There's a Rainbow in the Cloud. I do believe that. I am looking for the rainbow right now. I know that the outpouring of love, support, promises of prayers, and words of encouragement from my family and friends have been to me a rainbow in my clouds of fear and anxiety concerning my surgery and recovery. I also know that God has a purpose and possibly a bigger rainbow! I am still thankful. I am still scared. But I am trusting in the Lord to help me these upcoming days.

About Me

Welcome to my blog! I have been married to my wonderful husband for 26 years. God has blessed us with 5 lovely children whose ages range from 11-22. My interests include homeschooling, running, reading, scrapbooking, cooking, planning, and organizing.

We use the Bible Study Guide for All Ages for our Bible lessons. Additionally, I read aloud from Proverbs and Psalms 1 day a week, and the children work on Bible memory daily. The children also have assigned time each day for independent Bible reading.
